YouTube Description
as posted by the channelElection day went pretty well for Democrats nationwide all things considered, but Ohio was one of the exceptions. We were joined this week by Nelini Stamp, the National Director of Strategy & Partnerships at the Working Families Party, and comedian Kurt Braunohler to talk through these results, and more.
JD Vance rose to prominence after writing the book “Hillbilly Elegy” after the 2016 election, which many liberals used as a bible for how and why they’re so out of touch with “real Americans.” JD Vance, a Yale Law School educated lawyer and favorite of billionaire Peter Thiel, wrote the book as a means of explaining to liberal American just what happened to the rust belt, because JD Vance is an authority on that because of the zip code he was born in.
Tim Ryan, on the other hand, is a more or less centrist Democrat with progressive aesthetics. In this Senate run, Ryan decided it was good politics to play sinophobe and blame more or less everything he could on China. It seems like Tim Ryan wanted all the moderate white voters in Ohio to think that he’s not a socialist, but in the end these folks decided to go with an actual Republican and not Republican lite.
